Besides the videographers, you will certainly need to find a photographer to help you to take wedding pictures. A professional videographer will know where they should stand so that they will not be taken in the pictures. They will know how they will be out of the spotlight while they are taking the films. However, your friends may not know how they should stand. The videographers will also know how they should dress so that they will blend into the background. Of course your friends will not know how to do so!
After the videos are taken, the videographer will take them back and edit the videos. Some kind of professional software will be needed. This will help to make the wedding film more prefect. However, there is no doubt that your friends will not have such software at home. They will not be able to help you to edit the videos. Even if they have the software at home, you may not want them to spend so much time to edit the videos.
Now, you should understand why you should never ask your friends to help you to take wedding videos. Although you may be able to save money when you ask your friends to help, money should never be your prime consideration.
